Description
DELCG3_ALL indicates whether, in response to an open-ended question, the woman reported a nurse's aide or community health agent gave delivery care for a recent birth. This response category is country-specific to Congo Brazzaville.
DELCG3_ALL consists of a set of up to five separate variables, covering the most recent birth (DELCG3_01) up to the fifth-most-recent birth (i.e., DELCG3_02, DELCG3_03, DELCG3_04, and DELCG3_05) during the reference period prior to the survey. If DELCG3_ALL is included in a data extract, all these separate variables are included in a researcher's data file.
